Systems and methods for providing a video game using information stored by physical objects

A method of providing a video game using information stored by physical objects, the method being implemented in a computer system including one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:

• executing an instance of a video game, and implementing the instance of the video game to facilitate user participation in the video game that takes place in a virtual space, wherein user participation in the video game includes controlling game entities in the virtual space, and wherein individual ones of the game entities are associated with individual physical objects that store information associated with the individual game entities;
• receiving information stored by a first physical object from a reader operatively coupled to or included with the one or more physical processors, the first physical object embodying a physical appearance of a first game entity of the video game, the information stored by the first physical object including a parameter value for a parameter of the first game entity, wherein the parameter value stored by the first physical object is configured to set the value of the parameter for the first game entity in the virtual space independently from gameplay using the first game entity, the parameter comprising a behavior parameter related to one or more of a hit reaction or a collection bonus associated with the game entity in the virtual space;
• and
• implementing the received information in the instance of the video game such that the parameter value stored by the first physical object is implemented in the virtual space as the value of the parameter for the first game entity independently from gameplay using the first game entity.
